Such noted acts as the Orrln Davenport family of equestrians; thie WarddCimball Troupe of aerialists and Clyde Beatty and his mixed group of lions and tigers are outstanding features. Clownland was searched high and low for slapstick artists and pantomlmies and such names as the Arthur Borella trio, the three Harding brothers; Joe Coyle, Mickey McDonald and Earl Shipley mean plenty of good clean fun.
